The first season of the series consists of six 45-minute episodes that comprise the day-to-day lives of athletes in their build-up to the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. For season two, it was reported that it would comprise four 45-minute episodes that would document their road to the Paris Olympics.
During the first release last year, it was noted that athletes from the U.S., Jamaica, the United Kingdom, Ivory Coast, Kenya, and Italy would take part in the documentary but the whole list is yet to be released.
However, the likes of Lyles, Richardson, and Jackson are some of the world’s top sprinters who will be featured in the series. Box To Box Films, an award-winning documentary production company, produced Season 1 and will produce the second season in association with the Olympic Channel.
“We're just finishing what I think is an extraordinary show about 100m and 200m runners. We were lucky enough to follow a group of athletes up to and including the World Championships in Budapest.
“We're going to follow that same group of athletes up to the Paris Olympics, which is amazing. It's a really amazing show. We had great access to Noah Lyles, Sha'Carri Richardson, Jamaican sprinters, and Gabby Thomas.
“There's a moment in there – I'm not going to ruin it. But there's a moment in the show that is some of the best and most emotional scenes we've ever filmed. You get to this stage where you've watched parts and cuts like 25 to 30 times over the course of a show.

Sha'Carri Richardson shares motivation behind her iconic long nails
Long nails are always a bit of a hustle for many women but world 100m champion Sha'Carri Richardson loves them that way and has shared the motivation behind them.
“There's one particular scene in our sprints show that just kills me every time. It's so emotional. It's so magical. I can't wait for people to see it. I think that show is some of the best work that we've done.
“There's just a purity about sprinting. That idea that everybody gets on the line and the gun goes off and whoever gets to the end first wins. There's a purity to the show and I think it's one of the best shows that we've done,” Paul Martin, the co-founder of Box To Box Films said as quoted by Citius Mag.
